i read the two on here and a few on fauna... after reading for a while and seeing what he said to kelli I was disgusted.

I am also disgusted that he considerd himself a christian. I am a christian and can in no way see any excuse for the words he's spoken to his "customers" or "possible customers". I truly hope he gets help!!!

WOW

It really seems like Matt went to the Chris Johnson School of Business. Only difference is that Chris went quietly like one of those really potent 'SBD' farts and Matt apparently wants to go out with a bang. Not sure which I despise more, but at least Matt didn't get any of my money. I had actually thought about buying a thermostat from him a while back. Glad I didn't.

Sorry you have to go through this. Best of luck with Paypal; I've never had to deal with their fraud department, but there are plenty of horror stories on the net.

I have been following this threed and I have been chocked!
One who is driving a buisness doing like this...how can he survive???

Her in Denmark (well, it´s a very little country) he had been gone a long time ago without a chans to get his reputation back!

Service and good behaviour is very importent here...

But now...after reading the last post he wrote on fauna...
This guy must be very very sick!!!
That´s the only explanation...

Kelli...you are one of the nicest person!
Don´t let he´s cheep words get to you!
We are so many that know who you are...and we love you beacuse you are you!

It´s a little hard to get the feelings down in words when you must use onther language then your own!
But I hope some of it make sence...

I have one question...


Why must people fight on the internet?? It's so pointless.

One or two comments on the forum on how you feel is ok. Then email him with how you feel, then never do business with him again. Tell everyone not to do business with him. Just don't get into a name calling contest with people...


I thought we were all adults here. I read some of those threads on the "fauna classifieds" and it's just ridiculous the extent people take it to.

Now, I'm not defending Matt (since I obviously don't know him) and I'm not putting anyone here down...but come on folks. Let it go already

Yes, he is a jerk, and has poor business ethics (there is my second and last comment on him)...but it doesn't need to be taken to that level

Just my humble opinion. Please don't jump on me...

Lyndsey, it's as simple as kid's school yard fights. One kid goes to the other to tell them what's wrong and why they're upset. The other kid goes "you're wrong". Other kid says "no, I have proof". Other kid goes "well, you're a big doo doo head" and so on and so forth.
I did attempt to contact Matt, with no success. He never returned an e-mail, with the exception of letting me know he had the thermostat sent directly to me from the company and the second being the tracking number. No phone calls were returned. When I did make my comment on the BOI, he reacted by calling me a liar and claimed we had spoken on the phone. When confronted by the proof I had, he hit with me with negative karma and negative trader rating. Like I said, kid's school yard.:main_no:

I agree and understand. Some people have just taken it too far though, ya know? Going so far as threatening and using very harsh words. I understand he was wrong...but it shouldn't be taken to such an extent

Once again...not lecturing anyone...just giving my opinion

Going so far as threatening and using very harsh words.

Personally, after what he said about me on Fauna, I think I was justified in being angry and using harsh words. I could have and wanted to say much worse but i held back. Sometimes our emotions get the better of us, especially when people push the "right" buttons.

I've posted close to 3,000 posts on Fauna. Until that post from Matt I had never cursed on a public forum. It was one of the most evil posts I had ever read. It was made by someone who claimed friendship to Kelli and many others. There is a difference between being a jerk and being rotten to the core. What was posted was vile.

As far as taking it to far, I don't think it has reached its peak yet. Fauna was setup not only as a means to let the public know who they should do business with on-line but also to give a little peer pressure to those that will respond to it. Matt made is good reputation on Fauna. It's rightfully being taken away by his own hand.

When someone has repeatedly attacked their customers, attacked the reputations of good people doing business online out of spite, they will have little sympathy from me.

I would like to know though. Who has threatened Matt? Other than people refusing to do business with him. I've have seen countless threats from Matt to others.

In my opinion, the only person that has taken this to far is Matt. His customers still waiting on their products and/or refunds would likely disagree as well.

First, this site is not a place "where people come to fight on the internet" (and I love it for that). However, I don't think this thread has been taken anywhere NEAR the point of which it would be justified to go (mainly by Kelli who has too much class to "go there"). Matt has asked - no begged - for each and every response. The day you get a hit that is SOOOOO far below the belt such as this, maybe you will understand this is not just "a school yard fight".

If anyone doesn't agree with the argument and would still be willing to order from him, so be it, but his reputation for POOR BUSINESS PRACTICES speaks volumes and will ultimately lead to the demise of this company.

I apologize if it sounds like I'm jumping your case, but I'm not sure you understand the "big picture" of what has been going on for months and that this was just the cherry on top of a rotten sundae.

I was referring to Matt when I said that.

Yes, he screwed people over and is rude...but it needs to be dropped. Don't stoop to his level. Be the bigger person and let it go. Everyone knows about his business ethics now and I'm sure they won't buy from him anymore. It's just beating a dead horse IMHO

Ok, I'm done with this topic now. Obviously people will do and say as they please no matter what anyone else says lol. Once again...I wasn't bashing anyone, nor was I trying to be rude

If you feel you must comment on my opinions...please don't be rude about it (not that anyone has yet...I'm just saying for the future). Thanks

No, it doesn't sound like you're jumping on me. No, I also don't know the "big picture" nor do I care to after what I've seen lol

I understand he made some "below the belt" comments...but words on a message forum shouldn't be taken so seriously IMO

Now.. that was my final comment lol

I think the "big picture" is matt has ripped people off for to long and this thread and any other thread about him is well deserved IMHO.

I lost ALL and ANY respect for him long ago, but after that comment he made to Kelli, yeah I wanted to jump through my computer screen and ring his neck!

Maybe you haven't lost someone close to you, maybe you have. If someone that was supposed to be your friend threw something in your face about it, you would be upset end of story. People need to know what he is and what he stands for and it isn't the big Christian he claims to be.

I think this whole situation between Matt and his customers is pathetic and sad. I also think GeckoForums.net should maintain a higher standard by not allowing threads like this one to escalate to the point is has. I believe we all can have a heated argument and express our thoughts WITHOUT lowering ourselves to sophomoric behavior. With this in mind, I am going to once again remind everyone...
